Abstract
Quantity distribution and network matching flow are two core problems of the empty wagon distribution. Based on abstracting these problems, EWDCO model and corresponding algorithm are devised. It is found that identical path constraint doesn't correspond with EWDCO model and convection constraint won't affect the optimal solution. Thus, EWDCO model can be described as linear integer programming model, and ACO is superior to other algorithms.
